liXiviated life:

hello friend from Silk City.
Where the Passaic River flows,
tumbles and rolls.
Embracing all
and this life.
Always moving.
Wild and high or almost dry.
All this comes at last
to the sea.
Held by the currents pull and passion
this river will carry her
and me.

@colleen, my students were teasing me the other day, very naturally, because I had to cloth napkins wrapped around and rubberbanded to my leaky coffee travel mug. I also can’t count how many times I’ve started off in one pair of pants in the morning and then had to switch to a second before I left. If they can happen: spills well! My solution has been to just strut around the house in my boxers until right before it’s time to go. The spills still happen, but they are much less frustrating. Now driving to work in my boxers…

I had to finish yesterday's WAKE on the archive, I can't stand to miss the HazMat Report! In general, this is one of the few radio programs where you don't want to miss any of it, b/c later I'll look at the playlist and be full of regret that I missed that ten minutes, you know?

It's weird. I'm feeling in a very "greeting" kind of mood.

Daybreak, the Human:

@yerfriendpaul, Cybertoast! The new breakfast offering from our friend Denti-Paul!

We used to love this LIVE in GVL, local heroes The Invasion covered this and many others, in the 80s. We had of course no online anything at the time, naturally I thought they made all that stuff UP and were the most innovative band in history, but it was all covers! We all loved them. Not sure I've ever heard this on the radio, or knew it was "U2". My first thought was "Hey, the Invasion is on the radio after all these years".

Rollins said you'll be braggin " i saw ween" in 1990. He was mostly encouraging the crowd to put away the music being shoveled their way on pop radio and give this amazing "beacon of light" band Ween some love. I'm thinking his friend didn't like ween?

Spacecowboy- Rollins reminds me a bit of frank zappa when he talks.. always interesting.
I love Elliott Smith, he was a real friend (when he was living in Jersey city actually) but he was a hero to me i was just a big fan who got lucky to be in similar circles.

jack kerouac predicted a 'rucksack revolution' among the young. youthful travelers seeing the world on their own terms. he was right!

Linda I tried to take my mom last year and it made her so sad. She said I had no idea how sad that night was. It was funny though because my mom is a very glass is half empty person and my dad is the opposite, and they had totally opposite reactions to the memorial: my mom got depressed and my dad finds it inspiring. Those two! Opposites attract I guess :)

Elliott was really funny, always doing silly goofy stuff, and laughed a lot! One of the most kind people I ever knew. A musical perfectionist.. He sent me cd's with songs from basement on the hill with 7 versions of some songs trying to decide which he liked. He loved playing with LOOPS which was sorta new to him and giving him so many ideas.

The crows here in Armenia are rad. They're tuxedo'd like penguins. Unfortunately, they are still shaped like all other crows. If I was to describe them further, I'd say their temperament is a bit less frenetic than NA crows.

ooh ! a pinch in the heart and a bittersweet feeling listening to that song right now, as I wake up the day after what most certainly was a break-up with the person who introduced me to Elliott's song (or rather just a new glossy version of it that made me discover the amazing original)
wfmu always in synchronicity with some weird instances in my life these days ! :D

So sorry I'm late to the party. I slept in. And it was worth every snore. There should be a song about good sleep. The Smith's "Asleep" is not a good example. That's a depressing one about suicide. I think I'll have to write a country song today about my good rest. My only regret is I missed bleeding Wavelengths!
